United States Code
TITLE 15 - COMMERCE AND TRADE
CHAPTER 2 - FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION; PROMOTION
OF EXPORT TRADE
70g. Exclusion of misbranded textile fiber products
All textile fiber products imported into the United States shall be stamped,
tagged, labeled, or otherwise identified in accordance with the provisions
of section 70b of this title, and all invoices of such products required
pursuant to section 1484 of title 19, shall set forth, in addition to
the matter therein specified, the information with respect to said products
required under the provisions of section 70b(b) of this title, which information
shall be in the invoices prior to their certification, if such certification
is required pursuant to section 1484 of title 19. The falsification of,
or failure to set forth the required information in such invoices, or
the falsification or perjury of the consignee's declaration provided for
in section 1485 of title 19, insofar as it relates to such information,
is unlawful, and shall be an unfair method of competition, and an unfair
and deceptive act or practice, in commerce under the Federal Trade Commission
Act (15 U.S.C. 41 et seq.); and any person who falsifies, or perjures
the consignee's declaration insofar as it relates to such information,
may thenceforth be prohibited by the Commission from importing, or participating
in the importation of, any textile fiber product into the United States
except upon filing bond with the Secretary of the Treasury in a sum double
the value of said products and any duty thereon, conditioned upon compliance
with the provisions of this subchapter. A verified statement from the
manufacturer or producer of such products showing their fiber content
as required under the provisions of this subchapter may be required under
regulation prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.
